...it's waaaay better than that piece of crap film, TRON: Legacy

[The Zevad]

So this is a prequel to Tron: Legacy right?

Looks good.

Those poor bastards.

Yeah, because the original TRON was such a masterpiece and set such a high standard!

Yeah, because the original TRON was such a masterpiece and set such a high standard!

Given the year it was released? Yes.

Given the year it was released? Yes.

Are you implying that the reason for its shitiness was the special effects? Because that's not the problem with the movie.

Neither of the Tron films are particularly great.

It's true. If I were going by a 5-star scale, I might give the original a 3 if I was feeling generous. The sequel I might give a 2 if I was feeling generous.

I'll still try the cartoon, though. The kid in me likes the Tron concept, however shitty the execution.

The animation style and character design reminds me a lot of Aeon Flux. Very fluid and pretty-looking.

Yeah, I like it.

I tried to watch it but it was too sluggish. Same problems as the movies - slick but uninvolving. Lots of slow-mo shots of acrobatics and near-misses with thrown discs.
